GLASS INSERT IN PANELS ADDS FLAIR TO EXECUTIVE HOUSE

The breakfast nook at 164 Green Meadows is nestled into bay windows that look out onto the interior sun deck.

An intricately designed glass insert in the wooden front door and side panels combine with a gracefully landscaped lawn to offer an appealing invitation to this Jackson, Mo., executive home. Tuck that little sports car just used for Sunday drives in one of the bays of the attached three-car garage. While away the evening hours from the comfort of the covered porch that extends across the front of the house.

Although there's much to see along the way, your interest will be immediately drawn to the glass enclosed sun room visible from the front entrance. Accessible through French doors in the living room and an exit door in the breakfast nook, this in an area that's sure to bring much pleasure. Whether it's curling up with a good book, watching the children play in the back yard, creating a piece of needlework or just relaxing, you'll find the sun room a perfect spot. Flowers will flourish in this well-lit area, but when they need a little fresh air just take them outside to the upper deck.

The elegance of the formal dining room is enhanced by French doors leading to the entry hall. Chair railing and hardwood flooring adds to the decor.

Brick encases the living room's gas fireplace. A popular basket-weave design has been used in the brick that extends to the ceiling.

An abundance of pecan cabinets in an open setting create a kitchen the cook won't mind spending time in. The large work and eating counter allows family members to stay close at hand while Mom prepares those special dishes. Ceramic tile flooring combines aesthetic appeal with durability.

Kitchens are often the gathering places in many homes, so it's no wonder a desk and hutch have become popular additions. Cookbooks, collectibles and other memorabilia will find a home on the open hutch shelves. Drawers for filing and a top big enough for a computer add to the desk's versatility.

The coffered ceiling in the master bedroom is a delightful architectural touch. The upper deck is also accessible from the master bedroom. An inviting Jacuzzi tub and oversized shower are added amenities in the master bath.

Two additional bedrooms and a guest bath complete the main-level living area, but if you need more space, there's plenty to be found. The semi-finished walk-out lower level offers endless possibilities for creating additional living space. Divider walls are in place, and the bath is rough plumbed. Double the home's square footage by adding your own finishing touches.
